Non-substantive Change Request

Non-Substantive Change Request for Information Collections

3060-1133, 3060-0686, and 3060-0678

The Federal Communication Commission (“Commission”) is submitting a non-substantive change request to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) in order to require filing of section 325(c) permit applications (FCC Form 308) (OMB Control No. 3060-1133), and section 63.10(c) quarterly reports (OMB Control No. 3060-0686) electronically in the International Bureau Filing System (IBFS). When the electronic filing is made available in IBFS after approval by the OMB, the section 325(c) applications and section 63.10(c) quarterly reports will no longer be filed in other formats.¹

The section 325(c) applications and related filings were previously submitted in the Commission’s Electronic Filing System (ECFS), and the section 63.10(c) reports were previously submitted by mail within 90 days after the end of each quarter. After approval by the OMB, the filings will be submitted electronically in IBFS, http://licensing.fcc.gov/myibfs/. The requirements to file electronically in IBFS will provide a number of benefits to carriers and Commission staff, including cost savings, convenience, administrative ease, and speed. The content of the filing requirements was not revised in any manner. There are no other changes to the information collection, including burden estimates.

The Commission is also submitting this non-substantive change request to reflect a change in the filing requirements for satellite cost-recovery declarations under 47 CFR 25.111(d) (OMB Control No. 3060-0678). Previously, these declarations were required to be filed both electronically and in paper form. The Commission will no longer require submission of duplicate paper copies. There are no other changes to the information collection, including burden estimates.

1 The Commission is separately submitting a similar non-substantive change request for filings associated with OMB Control No. 3060-1035 in conjunction with an emergency approval request for a revision to that information collection.
